In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram (shaivism)Amnāyadarśana (अम्नायदर्शन) refers to the “system of the (Kula) tradition”, according to verse 12.1 of the Netratantra of Kṣemarāja: a Śaiva text from the 9th century in which Śiva (Bhairava) teaches Pārvatī topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—Kaulism as a whole is said to be a darśana even when it appears, as it did in the first phase of its development, embedded in the Śaiva Tantras as an option or a modality (kulaprakriyā or kulācāra) contrasted with the Tantric (tantraprakriyā or tantrācāra). In the Netratantra, for example, we find a chapter dedicated to ‘an explanation of the Kula tradition’ (kulāmnāyanidarśana). Kṣemarāja explains that this is the kula-amnāyadarśana the essential feature of which, as presented in this brief chapter of the Netratantra, is the worship of the eight Mothers.
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
